#SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN SUB 3 SERIES#

Toward the end of the episode, Lain gets an impromptu programming lesson from someВ younger kidsВ in Cyberia. It is an elevated consciousness or meta-self. Notably, the Psyche does not replace the main processor Psyche augments the main processor, interpreting the data that flows through it. On the smaller scale, when Lain applies the Psyche processor to her Navi, she is installing a spirit or soul, an animating element, to her machine (recalling Darren AronofskyвЂ™s indie debut, the metaphysical thriller вЂњPiвЂќ).

This is the psyche, the soul or spirit, of both the Wired and the series at once. ItвЂ™s as if the entirety of вЂњLainвЂќ is happening at the same time. And, if the references to past and future events in the series is taken into account, it is perhaps a way to view the series as a single process rather than unique episodes. This is, in a way, a gestalt way to view the Wired, as a flow of communication that is composed of smaller conversations but is greater than any individual conversations. The only visual is of the ubiquitous telephone poles. Intriguingly, the second half of the episode opens with a series of disembodied voices communicating about a variety of seemingly unrelated topicsвЂ“including some that predict events that will occur later in the series. However, a droning voice informs us that: вЂњIf you look at the Psyche as a mere processor, you lose sight of the whole.вЂќ This sounds like gestalt theory, the understanding that a whole is greater or separate from its parts and is perceived like a structured process. Within the confines of the showвЂ™s narrative, psyche refers to a computer processor. Instead, a cryptic voice waits until we see the chaos exiting Cyberia after the shooting to ask if we have heard of вЂњLain of the Wired.вЂќ Earlier, in the opening scene, the narration that usually covers the ubiquitous shot of a crosswalk is gone. This is the first episode that asks who is LainвЂ“the question is asked verbatim (and repeatedly) by a disembodied voice during one of LainвЂ™s visions. The character whose humanity is most blurred in LainвЂ™s.

Alice asks why her friends are not more shaken up after watching someone shoot himself in the head the previous day. One doesnвЂ™t even have to venture into the Wired to ask what is human. If previous episodes introduced the blurring of the real world with the Wired, then вЂњPsycheвЂќ is the episode that starts to blur human identity online and offline. вЂњLainвЂќ is just as comfortable borrowing from Freudian analysis as it is from classical religion.Д®very meaning of psyche is distinctly human: a human princess who achieves godhood, the soul or mind of an individual. In mythology, Psyche was the mortal princess who fell in love with and, eventually, married the god Cupid in religion and classical philosophy, psyche came to mean the human soul, and in the modern, literate world, it retains that meaning as the human spirit in Freudian analysis, psyche refers to the totality of the human mind: the id, ego and superego.

The third episode is a little harder to figured out based on its title, as itвЂ™s called вЂњPsyche,вЂќ and вЂњpsycheвЂќ has a long and varied history. So, each week this summer, weвЂ™ll post an analysis of each episode using its title as a kind of guide to the series as a whole. Famous for its abstract narrative and obscure references, each episode (or вЂњlayerвЂќ) of вЂњLainвЂќ sports a one-word title, which provides a handy entry point for analysis. I am starting in this world of wedding videos, couple sessions etc and I would like to use your music in videos that I do.This summer marks the 20th anniversary of вЂњSerial Experiments Lain,вЂќ a cult anime that is still boggling minds decades later. good afternoon I listen to your music and I like it a lot for my videos.
